Oh wow sorry. I asked on facebook and realized I didn't copy all the info. (BTW all the responses on facebook were dumb jokes). 2006 tacoma 4wd. the 7.5A is the gauge fuse (meter and gauge, emergency flashers) and the 20A is the 4wd fuse (four-wheel drive system, rear diff lock system). Only...

Please help... Ignore the fact that some fuses are incorrect (I fixed them) and this was a terrible job. I was trying to figure out this jumper that was installed and it's bizarre. Important note is when I removed it, the truck would not start though all electric works as though it would. Had...

Last night I went to home depot (and amazon) and bought: 2 gallons of CLR (pro?) 2 gallons of BLO 6 spray cans of fluid film respirator 20 pack scotchbrite green 1 quart penetrol (and then a cheap flux core welder and materials for that) What else should I buy? FYI I already have a few cans of...

@dogfishlake thanks! Yeah I actually still have a decent layer of paint but I wanted to try to add some extra protection and be slightly preventative Lol! I forgot that was in the picture...I took that right before the hurricane hit NC. I've got a slight leak that I need to take care of

Thanks! I'll bring it over sometime soon and we can discuss next steps :) @wngrog I actually peeked under the diamond plate and I'm pretty sure the PO added it for looks. I haven't taken it off all the way (and don't want to jinx myself) but it looked okay. I'm not sure if I'd rather it as it...

Here are a few pictures. Paint is very oxidized. Lots of nice patina on the hood. Is it simple enough just to use the spray cans? Or should I get the special sprayer set from the company? It would be difficult for me to really repaint it because I would have to remove the stripes and they give...

Okay, perfect timing! So having read through this, I am a little lost on a couple things. Hopefully, my incomprehension can aid some other members. Just treat me like I'm 5... So my 40 has a nice patina but also has a few rust spots like in the channels on the roof. I would really like to...

Thanks guys! That is quite a detailed description of history, good sir. Ugh I wanted to avoid a frankencruiser, but I wasn't even alive when these swaps were done so I can't complain. Engine serial is worn down beyond recognition. I noticed that I have a sticker on my hood that says "emission...

I just started to go through it and a few pages in realized there are 90 pages over 11 years.......looks like it will be a long night :cheers:

I would love some input on this. I have what I believe is a rustic green 74 but before I go and refresh some of spots I would really like to know this! I dont want some camo looking paint job :)

Hi all, so I have read lots of mixed things but also had a heck of a time finding the correct parts for my 40 because the year is such an annoying one. My 40 is a 9/74 production so it has the 2F, 4 speed, and front discs, but retains the top wipers and a lot of other things fixed to the 74...

Does everyone really get the full 215mm of pedal height? I think my issue is that when the master push rod comes too far back there some inlet of air which is not good. must be the seal there. Current resolution is that I just limited how far back it will go and adjusted the slave as well. I...

So mine was so well done that it seems original (though I've been told that not possible). It's hard to see all the detail since I don't even have those pictures yet, but white stripes down the side from the hood bacj, fitting into the door seals, and even small accents on the spots of the hood...

Same issue for me and I'm trying to follow through the steps but the clutch bleed is a little difficult to do by yourself. Any recommendations? The fluid that was in my master reservoir was mucky and thick... I feel like a I have some sticking issue at the slave but it's not the easiest to...
